Treasury Bills
Treasury bills, or T-bills, are sold in terms ranging from a few days to 52 weeks. Bills are typically sold at a discount from the par amount (par amount is also called face value); rarely, they have sold at a price equal to the par amount.
When a bill matures, you are paid its par amount. If the par amount is greater than the purchase price, the difference is your interest.
You can buy bills from us in TreasuryDirect. You can also buy them through a bank or broker. (We no longer sell bills in Legacy Treasury Direct, which we are phasing out.)
You can hold a bill until it matures or sell it before it matures.

Wait until they hit extremely low and then sacrifice those last three months (this is just a hedge against inflation). So say the fed *actually* manages to get inflation under control rates will drop to 1 or 2 percent sacrificing those months is nothing. But right now I bonds are better than the market and it compounds semi annually so if rates stay this high the government will go bankrupt 😂😅

It's absolutely a great way to go for conservative portion of your investments. Generally I wouldn't invest all my available dollars this way. Find a reputable financial advisor in your area. Credit Unions are usually a good place to start. Getting an expert to help you make decisions is a great idea, consults are usually free. Some advisors may charge for a plan and advice, some may not but instead want to manage your money (they get paid fees for this).
